First Line: I built a castle in the air
Last Line: I could not enter alone.
Subject(s): Castles; Love
I built a castle in the air,
With portals open wide,
And entered into happiness
For you were at my side.
I built a castle on the earth,
With guarding wall of stone,
But closed the gates and turned away,
I could not enter alone.
